Have been holding for 3 years, writing covered calls and selling puts between 11 and 12$. Held out on writing calls because of low premium and recent stock market highs(after reading a article Bret wrote). Stock recommended to me by Stansberry and associates. I am a happy camper. Cash gushing business has no place to go but up. I am a daily reader of Bret's articles, he gives good recommendation on value stocks. I believe he is the best on Alpha. Thanks Bret.

Intel Corp will spend more than $4 billion to buy up to 15 percent of ASML and bankroll the Dutch company's research into costly next-generation chipmaking technology.

Intel hopes to speed the adoption of the next generation of chip manufacturing processes from ASML by as much as two years. That will require intensive capital investment, but delivers billions of future savings by cutting chip production costs, analysts saidThere are four huge new technological developments rapidly changing the way computer chips are made. Just one of them is so disruptive, Intel's CEO said new developments could bankrupt up to half the industry. And that could happen within five years…

Implementing the new technologies will be expensive. That'll limit the number of industry players able to compete at the highest level. They'll also require large-volume orders to make them worth doing. That'll limit the number of firms able to justify new investment in these cutting-edge developments.

Top Bullish Stocks On Tuesday: Dell, Barrick And Celsion And With Unusual Call Activities [View article]

I prefer to sell the 2.50 puts for both January and February. The volatility is enormous. Cash in my pocket. Return on risk of 13% in 2 weeks for January. 30% return in 6 weeks for February. CLSN would have to drop below 1.80 before I loose money. Just sayin.

I am an apple bull. Reality tells me there is 50-60% upside from here, if we go to 1000+. Then what? Dividends, yield? There are many stocks that will go up more than 50% from here that I can own, and do. 50% is 50% no matter how you are getting there. Does this mean all of us just want 50% return, and were done. Notta.
